Was speaking with a neighbor (avid celestial observer) outside at around 20:40, when neighbor noticed and pointed out an orange object in the air. It mas moving slowly moving from NE to N direction. A moment later of watching, three other similarly oriented objects appeared to be rising in a vertical line and moving from NE to N. I then urgently called my husband from inside the house to look. There was no sound, they glowed for possibly a few minutes and then faded out completely. I took pictures of them. While sky lanterns are illegal in Maryland. While the neighbor, husband and I were both shocked at the observation, the neighbor does not believe they were UFOs, suspected that they were sky lanterns.
